One of the identification methods of garnet is the naked eye
There are many types of garnets, such as emerald green and transparent grains. Therefore, the price of garnets of different colors is also different. If the color of the garnet you encounter is very bright and transparent, then you must be cautious, because such garnets are likely to have some quality problems.
The second method of identifying garnet is impurities. When we buy garnet, we can also see if there are some cotton wool impurities in it. If so, it is real garnet. In addition, real garnets are easy to contain some black spots and ice cracks. This is normal.
The third method of identifying garnet is weight. The weight of general garnet is higher than that of crystal. Therefore, during the purchase process, we can put the garnet on our hands to see if it is lighter than the crystal. If the lighter one is garnet, then you must choose carefully.
The fourth method of garnet identification is the feel.
Under normal circumstances, garnets are relatively delicate, and if you touch them with your hands, they will be very slippery. And putting the garnet in it has a cold feeling.
